Only limited by the availability of free space in the extended partition.
Logical Drives
Create one primary partition and an extended partition with four logical drives within it.
On MBR partitioned hard-drives only 4 primary partition can be created. (Use extended and logical partitions to create more partitions).
As per TESTOUT for A+ exam 320-602 the max number of logical drives that can be created in a basic disk's extended partition is 26. Well, Testout is wrong. That may have been correct in the dark days of FAT and DOS, but here in the 21st century, with the use of mount points, the answer is that there is NO LIMIT to the number of logical drives that can be created in an extended partition. I could not quickly find an authoritative reference to this answer, so I used the empirical approach and created an extended drive on my own computer. I got tired of creating logical drives within that partition at about 30, and could easily observe that this process could go on until I literally ran out of disk space. I'd be happy to send you a screen shot, or invite you to try it on your own computer; it only takes about 10 minutes.
Create one primary partition and an extended partition with four logical drives within it.
You have to create the primary partition, which will create a drive with assigned letter for you. Or you can create the extended partition where you can create logical drives it can be more than 1.
The computer management feature in Windows can be used to partition a drive and create logical drives within these partitions. There are also commercial and non-commercial programs available for the same purpose.
Partition information: detailing the size and type of each partition on the hard drive. File system type: specifying the format used to organize and store data on the partitions. Boot information: indicating which partition contains the boot loader and bootable operating system.
When you partition a hard drive into two or more partitions (storage areas) those extra drives are called logical drives. So you can have 2 or 3 or more logical drives on one physical hard drive. It varies.

A map to the partitions on the hard drive. This table tells BIOS how many partitions the drive has and how each partitions is divided into one or more logical drives, which partition contains the drive to be used for booting (called the active partition), and where each logical drive begins and ends.1-map to the partitions on on the hard drive2-information about where each logical drive is located, where it starts and where it ends3-which partition contains the drive to be used for booting (the active partition)The first is a map to the partitions on the harddrive,and how they are divided, the second, which partition contains the drive to be used for booting this is called the "Active Partition", and third where each logical begin and ends.
